Could you remind me of a time when we felt so alive, do you remember that?

Yesterday night when I was on the phone with the older brother I totally tripped over the floor & fell.

Go ahead & make me your personal joke.

Hahah now thinking about it I feel so dumb, but then again at the same time I'm really amused at how I can amuse myself, I seriously think I'm the only person who can trip over the, floor.

(I can already picture Fiona sitting infront of her computer reading all of this & laughing at me)

& OH have I ever said how much I adore baby food, just a moment ago I was enjoying my apple & banana cereal when my mum came into the room,

Mum: Haven't you had your dinner, what's that you're eating?
Me: Oh, baby food.

My mum then gave me that usual, I-think-you're-nuts, look.

Anyway, today I went for lunch together with my family to celebrate grandad's birthday, & on the way home from JG I was just thinking of how quickly time flies, when I was this reeeaalllyyy young girl grandad always used to fetch me from the kindergarten, & he was always the one to take me to the playgrounds & push me on the swings.
When I was 6, grandad went to China for a holiday & I remember before he left I cried really really hard & I literally begged him to take me with him, because I thought he'd adore the life there so much he wouldn't come back to Singapore anymore, & I'd never get to see him again.
Come to think of it, I was such a spoilt brat then, I really wonder how grandad could put up with all of my hissy-fits.

On my 15th birthday, grandad got me a Barbie doll & when he gave me the present I thought it was rather ridiculous because for all I know 15 year old girls don't bother about Barbie dolls, but when grandad told me, "you'll always be the same 5 year old girl who'd drag me to the toys section to look at Barbie dolls", I cried.
I really cried.

I can remember all of it so vividly, it's like I was 5 just yesterday & take a look at me now, it's as if I already have a life of my own.
I don't see grandad as often as I used to & this short time away he seemed to have aged so much, it really breaks my heart to know that one day he'll be gone.
It's funny but we almost never learn to treasure untill something is gone, I've been there before & I really hate that feeling, I don't want to regret only when grandad's not here anymore.

I should stop taking things for granted, because when it comes to this the last thing I have to spare is,

Time.
